London
(ANI):
Peter
Andre
thought
he
was
dying
when
he
was
rushed
to
hospital
with
stomach
pains
on
Friday,
the
star
revealed
to
his
friends
and
family.
Andre
had
to
undergo
emergency
surgery
in
the
medical
drama,
which
saw
him
raced
to
the
Musgrove
Park
Hospital
in
Taunton,
Somerset,
in
the
early
hours
of
Friday
morning.
“He
was
on
all
fours
riddled
with
pain
when
his
road
manager
walked
into
his
room," the
Daily
Mail
quoted
the
source
as
telling
the
Daily
Star.
“Pete
was
really
frightened
for
his
life.
He
felt
very
disorientated
and
did
not
know
what
was
wrong
with
him,"
the
source
added.
Although
it
has
still
not
been
revealed
what
Andre
is
suffering
from,
he
made
a
speedy
recovery
from
the
surgery
and
was
discharged
last
night.
He
was
due
to
play
the
Plymouth
Pavilions
on
Friday
night
and
Butlins
in
Minehead
yesterday,
but
was
forced
to
disappoint
his
fans.
The
Butlins
concert
will
now
go
ahead
today
instead
and
the
Plymouth
Pavilions
gig
was
rescheduled
to
December
21.
Andre
will
not
be
able
to
dance
but
is
promising
the
'vocal
performance
of
a
lifetime'.
“All
other
tour
dates
will
be
unaffected
and
will
run
to
schedule.
Peter
would
like
to
thank
everyone
for
their
support
and
their
messages.
We
apologise
to
all
of
Peter's
fans
and
appreciate
their
support
and
understanding," a
statement
on
Andre"s
website
said.
Andre's
manager
Claire
Powell
said
the
singer
had
been
'terribly
disappointed'
that
he
was
unable
to
perform
at
Friday's
sold-out
show
which
was
due
to
kick
off
his
UK
tour.
Writing
in
his
column
for
New!
magazine
this
week,
Andre
revealed
he'd
been
feeling
ill
for
some
time.
“I'm
sorry
to
say
that
I
haven't
been
feeling
too
great
these
last
couple
of
weeks.
I
don't
know
what's
wrong
with
me
but
I've
got
some
ongoing
health
problems,
and
I've
been
having
lots
of
tests
at
the
hospital,
he
wrote.
I
also
had
an
MRI
scan
last
week,
so
hopefully
the
doctors
will
get
to
the
bottom
of
it
soon.
I
just
don't
feel
right
and
I'm
gutted
because
I
had
to
pull
out
of
the
Pride
Of
Britain
Awards
because
I
felt
so
rough.
Hopefully,
I'll
be
on
the
mend
soon
though," he
added.
Pete
also
complained
of
stomach
pains
last
week
on
his
ITV2
reality
TV
show
and
has
previously
suffered
from
gallstones.
